Modified Gibbs's representation of rotation matrix
Abstract
A modified Gibbs's rotation matrix is derived and the connection with the Euler angles, quaternions, and Cayley-Klein parameters is established. As particular cases, the Rodrigues and Gibbs parameterizations of the rotation are obtained. The composition law of two rotations from the quaternion representation is presented showing a convenient expression for calculating the successive rotations.
